He did all the easy ones!
. Cimaterol is the newest beta-2 agonist to enter the market and it's been making quite a splash in the medical and fitness worlds.
At a dose of 0.15 milligram per kilogram administered subcutaneously (sub-Q), Cimaterol has been found to:
• Save muscle in burn victims, who often catabolize at a rate none of us even want to think about.
• Enhance protein accretion (the net uptake of amino acids into muscles) by up to 260% greater than control.
• Prevent muscle breakdown in cancer patients (tumor-induced catabolism).
• Enhance muscle protein synthesis even in states of stress.
Sounds like a winner! In short, Cimaterol may just be the ideal beta 2-agonist since it stimulates fat loss, helps retain muscle, promotes protein synthesis at the muscle cell level and appears to be safe enough that it's being researched in cancer patients.
Formestane (Lentaron Depot)
This drug is an androstenedione analog that inhibits aromatase activity. It’s been used to treat postmenopausal breast cancer as well. Formestane is a fairly potent drug in regard to its inhibition of aromatase activity. When compared to testolactone and aminoglutethimide, it was found to be 500 and 1,000 times more potent, respectively. This was in vitro, however, which isn’t always directly correlative with what will actually happen in the body.(12) Still, it’s highly likely that formestane is indeed superior.
As far as an LH/Testosterone elevation is concerned, it has some merit. It’s been shown to slightly increase androgen levels in healthy males.(13) The only problem, as I see it, would be the need to inject the drug every two weeks as the half life is five to ten days. This may prove to be cumbersome for some people. While you could take the drug orally, the half life decreases to around two to three hours, so I don’t think it would be worth it. Still, it’s advantageous over drugs like Cytadren because of its higher selectivity, meaning it doesn’t have that great of an effect on other enzymatic systems.
With that being said, the dosing regimen is as follows. For lowering estrogen levels, 250 to 500 mg every two weeks. If you’d like to try elevating androgen levels, you could try 250 mg every two weeks and see how that works. Still, I wouldn’t use it for an LH/Testosterone elevation. Arimidex is probably the only one worthy in that regard.
The cost I don’t have. This is because you’ll have to order it from Europe if you wish to try it. I’ve heard that it’s quite expensive, though.

I'll do some more later maybe.
